Battalion or squad you are applying for:

 

501st Legion

 

Experience:

 

38th TR3 - SGT3

Back in the days in 2017 somewhere around early September I joined my first ever battalion, 38th Engineering Corps. Under Apache I learnt the basics of being an Engineer and how to host a battalion tryout.

 

212th SGT3 - 2ndLT

My time in 212th was mainly me being a flying 2ndAC, I didn't get to do much in a Commanding Officer position, however I have learned the basics of running regiments (Heavy Troopers) and a sub-unit (2nd Airborne Company), back then I have received my first and only demotion for being power hungry. It gave me a lot to think about. That punishment was what probably created my behavior on the server and allowed me to work on my attitude, when I think about it today I do take that demotion as a positive thing. I have never been given examples of how I messed up, all I have been told is that I was power hungry, so I accepted my punishment, and tried to care about what I am doing for the battalion, more than the rank that I currently hold within it. I have to point out that I was 14 back than, and that I have matured up in past 4 years

 

Jedi Youngling - Jedi Knight Of Defense

As a Jedi i have taken some leadership position like Sentinel Manager, Consular Manager and Temple Guard Manager Lead, i have learnt some leadership and how to do trials properly, I was also a in a lore position of Serra Keto

 

501st SGT3 - LTC (Kain - Quill)

I started my journey under Kain as a SGT3. I have worked as hard as I only could within the Jet Trooper regiment and the recruitment program of the 501st, which eventually made me able to go up to 2ndLT. As a 2ndLT I have been assigned a new position of a Heavy Weapons Specialist Leader and an Intel Member. I was tasked to revive the Heavy regiment by actively doing trainings with them, as well as giving them a purpose on the battlefield. When I got promoted to 1st Lieutenant a new role, becoming an Intel Officer, and eventually after achieving the rank of Major the role of Intel Director. As my time being Lieutenant Colonel I was a TCO, Overseer for a couple branches and still did all I could for the Intel Branch as an Intel Director.

 

501st SGT - CMD (Omalic - Stormzy)

 

I came back under Omalic right after he got Rex, I have made my way through the NCO ranks to the position of Warrant Officer, where I have been the man in charge of the NCOs. Back then Warrant Officer was equal to a Commander within the battalion, which allowed me to step up and prove myself as an Intel Officer as well as a REGL. Later on I went from Warrant Officer to Major, picking up Intel Director and REGL as a Major. During my time as a Major I made some changes and implemented some stuff, ending up with me moving up from Major to Commander right before Bluejay resigned from Rex. At this point I made a plan with Stormzy where I will go for Rex and Stormzy will become my Executive Officer. After all it didn't work out with me being forced to resign due to my PC breaking down.

 

501st SGT - Lieutenant Colonel  (Bud and Shockpoint)

 

At first I rejoined the battalion to hang out with some friends, but when I noticed that the battalion is struggling with activity and recruitment I have decided to stay for a little bit longer, which ended up in me starting to care even more about the battalion that I have ever had. I kind of took a responsibility on myself to make the battalion great again. I have picked up a position of Support Officer and revived the regiment. As a Sergeant Major I have been given the lore character Appo and position of Intel Director. Eventually I got promoted to the position of Captain and transferred from Support Officer to the Position of ARFO so I can help revive the regiment like I did with support. Later on when Shockpoint became Rex I was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and became Vaughn. From there working with Marvel we created brand new 332nd tryouts and hosted them regularly. I have been online pretty much everyday handing out with the 501st, roleplaying with them as either Vaughn or Jar Jar. I have been keeping an eye on all Intel Members and making sure the docs are up to date.

New Admin - Vet Admin

During my time as a staff member i have learned a lot, starting from how to interact with people, at first in 2017 it wasn’t easy for me due to me being Polish but with time my english became way better. Being a staff member taught me how to deal with different types of issues as well as how to use my powers to host trainings and different activities for my battalion. Currently I am a Game Master Officer and I do know I can manage both the positions of being BCMD and a GMO. I used to be a trainer officer which taught me on how to interact with the new people on the server which can be very useful when it comes to recruitment. 

Senator Jar Jar Binks

Being a Senator taught me a lot about roleplay. I think that this job opened up opportunities for me that I can use in order to create passive Roleplay for the server as well as for 501st.

 

Why should you become a Battalion Commander of your squad?: 

 

I feel like I should become a Battalion Commander of the 501st due to my dedication to the battalion as well as good intentions and having a plan on how to save the battalion and bring our numbers back up again. I believe that I have traits which would make me a good Battalion Commander. I am a very open minded person, and I consider every suggestion that is brought up to me. I am a very positive person, and I do not favorize people. With that being said even if I don't like you as a person, u still will be able to move up through the ranks and your vote will always matter whenever we will be going over any suggestions. Whenever I am going to make a change I will consult it with my officers first, and after that the decision will be made. I have to point out that I do have the needed experience to run the battalion. I have been in a leadership position of both sub-units, Intel Director, Regimental Leader as well as a Commander position before. I have served under 9 Battalion Commander's of the 501st Legion, which made me able to gain experience that combined in my opinion will be very effective. I know how to make documents and how to bring the activity back up as I have a lot of ideas. 

 

Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?:

 

Yes I do understand the lore of the 501st Legion, as well as the lore of both Sub-Units.

Estimate of how long you have played on Synergy Roleplay:

Do you have a microphone?:

 

Yes, I do.

 

Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?:

 

At the end of my term I want the battalion to be running actively with a solid recruitment system. I want my officer corp to be actively doing something on the server, starting from entertainments for the battalion, Trainings, Simulations, Patrols. I want my officers to work closely together and all of us combined into one Battalion Commander in the meeting, with me representing us. 95% decisions that I will be making will be considered with my Officer Corp. I want them to be there helping me as well as ensuring that everything is running correctly and smoothly. I will do my best to create a good base, so that whoever takes the torch after me for Holidays will have an easier job to keep my home functional and active. However here is a brief, where i want to see the battalion when my term ends:

 

1) Activity - as of right now our activity is very unstable, and I do think that it needs to be worked on. I feel like that if I get the position, and I will be actively playing on the server, I will set an example for my officers, as well as NCOs that there is a purpose to play on the server actively, even if that means me doing daily trainings and operations just to bring our numbers back up. After all, I can't expect my troopers to be Active i I am not. Our last two BCMDs weren’t the most active due to IRL stuff, as a result it caused a chain reaction for the rest of the battalion. It all starts from the top and rolls down hill. By being an active presence in the battalion, contributing to RP on a daily basis, being on as active as I am now (Even more in some cases), I will put a bandaid on the activity. I understand that finals are having this month and most of the schools are ending. That’s why i will do my best to prepare the battalion for recruitment during the summer, and I will make sure that my Officers are used to doing different activities on a daily basis.

2) Recruitment - I feel like with recruitment it's the same as with activity - you can't call it stable. There are days when we get more and days when we get none, I feel like having an active Battalion Commander kind off attracts people into joining the battalion, with that being said even if it will be me hosting tryouts everyday, I will do what is needed to bring the numbers up again until I will have a active NCO corp. We want to be appealing, from an outside looking in standpoint and from an insider's point of view. I want to bring back anonymous feedback for officers (a program Craig had in which people came to him, or submitted feedback on someone and it was addressed immediately no harm no foul, without names being mentioned and without drama being started. I will also give more incentives such as recruiter of the month gets not only a credit reward but will work out something with the GM program to get a deployment catered to them. This will result as a deployment for all of the 501st, with that person dictating what kind of event it is, which battalions are deployed with us, and will take charge of the 501st side. 

3) Professionalism - when it comes to battle comms I feel like they are in a good state, when they are active, and if someone breaks them, they are being told that battle comms are active, instead of other people joining into an off-topic conversation. I feel like there are things we should still work on, for example our behavior, and how we treat each other. A lot of the issues are attributed to the lack of high command presence within the battalion, as well as a relaxation that occurred because of it. These issues can be simply resolved through actively setting the example, and a presence. I will also be doing training and sims for the entire battalion, going over what could be considered simple stuff such as battle comms and sim etiquette, to ensure everyone is on the same page.

4) Officer Corp - I want my Officer Corps to be active, running trainings regularly, helping each other as they are supposed to, and most importantly I want the whole Officer Corp working together, I want them to be there for me if I need to make any decisions, I will consult them, I want to keep the battalion as transparent as possible, to the point where I won't have to make every major change on my own. I will closely be going through the officers (I will not be wiping the officer corps), but handling issues with individual officers and ensuring they’re functioning at the level needed for their rank. I also want to bring back Officer Evals to the Officer meeting so that I am able to know what officers think about each other.

5) NCO Corps - as of right now I do feel like we could use some changes to the NCO Corp, I feel like people don't really have a motivation to play on the server. I will do my best to give them opportunities, to prove themselves as well as just enjoy the server, and have fun while spending their time on it. I will keep on rewarding them for recruitment, training and event leads. Shockpoint during his short term has brought back the merit system, which I will keep, I feel like it opens up opportunities to the NCOs which makes them able to get rewarded for what they like instead of forcing certain tasks onto them. NCO’s major problem is lack of leadership, and presence of High command.

6) Promotions - I feel like there should not be anymore mass promotions. I feel like I will make promotions for NCOs the way they are right now, however for the Officers I want it so that they won't be jumping through ranks. Double promotions (for example CPT-LTC) would happen rarely and would have a VERY good reasoning behind it. I want to encourage hosting sims, patrols, training and other entertainments and reward them for these actions.

7) Discipline - I feel like 501st when it comes to Discipline is in a good state. We are not forced to enable talk power in battalion meetings anymore like we had to back in the days, when it comes to our Disciplinary Team led by the position of Warrant Officer, we always have someone to settle the punishment and deal with any situations, and the officers Know when to step up in the absence of a WO and their Disciplinary team. Overall discipline hasn’t been an outstanding issue, but when it is situations are handled at a professional level.

8) Activities - The 501st Legion on the server is one of the Attack Battalions. With that being said I will want my man to participate in reaction time, breach and clear, as well as holding line training where they would have to focus on their Battle Comms, ACE Reports, paying attention to /comms while fighting off the enemy forces.

9) 332nd Company - my plans for the 332nd Company is to give them an actual purpose. 332nd was meant to be a mentorship sub-unit, and that's exactly what I am gonna make it. I will have whoever the next Vaughn is to work with me and the 332nd Officers on creating the mentorship program which will focus on helping the basic troopers of the legion improve and learn new things. They will be hosting leadership, breach and clear communications and other trainings for the whole battalion. I will make a schedule on when the trainings will be happening and possibly they will be joint with 104th or 212th. The major drawbacks for 332nd aren’t the same as they are for TC. Limiting slots will be something that is looked at for the future (more so than already are) however I believe the real fix is giving them a set role as they were meant to have.

10) Torrent Company - For Torrent Company I want it to be an Elite Sub-Unit which is gonna be harder to get in, and it's gonna be focused on combat and thinking skills. They would be the ones among ARC. Having 2 unlimited sub units adversely affects the battalion, anyone and their mom in the battalion could be TC at the current moment because there are infinite slots. In limiting TC To The named characters it currently has, instead of having an infinite amount of people in a sub unit. I will be closely working with the Torrent Company Commander on making sure all lore positions are filled and keeping the sub-unit active. Currently there is a suggestion pending about Torrent Company Revamp that I fully support. 

11) Regiments - as of right now, only ARC is in a state I want all regiments to be. I will be doing my best to work with the Regimental Lead to revive all regiments, to a state where they have active leadership positions so that we would be there just to assist if needed. That does not mean I will give up on the regiments the second we fill the leadership positions out. We would still oversee their progress and how they are doing, we have no interest in some regiments, and others just don’t have people to step up and take charge. The fact that numbers are sub par for the battalion itself result in non functioning regiments. We do have a Regimental Lead that I will be closely working with on reviving most regiments and keeping them active. The key to do that is giving all regiments their purpose, and assigning different regiments to different tasks during events and trainings.

12) Jedi - For our Jedi I feel like it is in a good state. We have an active Ahsoka, who is actively doing stuff with the battalion and our Jedi Program. I want the Battalion Jedi not to be any different from the clones when it comes to permissions and ranks. I want them to be rewarded based on their work and dedication to the battalion, I will be making sure they enjoy the battalion itself, and I want Battalion Jedi to be as professional as possible and give the battalion kind of a new roleplay touch, as well as a helping hand.

13) Intel Team - When it comes to the Intel Team I feel like it's in a good state, but that doesn’t mean i am going to give up on it. I will be looking for someone to step up and take my spot as the Intel Director to maintain its current state and make sure it's running properly.

14) Passive RP - I want the battalion to be doing something everyday, not only participate in events but also create their own roleplay.

The major issues reside in the fact that the 501st has little to no presence of high command other than Ahsoka, and in turn makes it  hard for people to find motivation. We are also struggling with the fact that 501st in and of itself has a small number of members, as most people in 501st are either TC or 332nd. 

 

Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?:

 

Yes, I do understand.

 

Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?:

 

Yes, I do understand.

 

 

 

Note: I have been a part of this battalion for 4 years now. I feel like I know it like my own pocket, and that my experience as well as activity, being open minded and dedication can save the battalion, and bring the numbers up to a better state. I have been in pretty much every single leadership position in this battalion except for Rex and I do believe I can get the job done.

This is a modified copy of my last application which to my knowledge is allowed to do. 

 

My activity is 90 hours in the last 2 weeks and I usually don't afk on gmod at all.

[Willyworm1]

I gotta say, your app aside, I think you will make a good rex, 501st has been in need of one for a while. As long as you are fair and listen to the advice that others give you, then you will do just fine.

With that being said I will give you one piece of advice, Don't think of it as a chore, a lot of people go into positions that they think will be fun but then they feel like its only work. It will only feel like work if you make it feel like work, so take time to yourself, delegate responsibilities, and remember that it won't be a cake walk but that comes with the territory.

Now in terms of your app, you have show that you know the battalion and its problems, if you can live up to the promises and ideas you have for 501st, then you will make a great rex. And remember, always let calmer heads prevail, otherwise headaches will be your closest friend.
